Red Rover, Red Rover, Let Barack Obama Come Over!

Steven West
The children of Lincoln Elementary were outside playing a game of Red Rover when they were met by three adults. They decided to let the adults play in their game.

"Red Rover, Red Rover, Let Hillary Clinton come over!"

"I'm very good at this game. I have a lot of experience in how to win." Hillary ran at two locked arms. She pushed to the left, but the arms would not give way.

"Red Rover, Red Rover, Let John McCain come over!"

"I'm ready to break through the bonds of tyranny. One hundred year war. Here I go." John marched up to the two locked arms. He pushed to the right, but the arms would not separate.

"Red Rover, Red Rover, Let Barack Obama come over!"

"I have passion. I have grace. I have Change That We Can Believe In. Let me shake your hands boys and girls. You are the future." The locked arms separated. All the children swarmed around Barack Obama. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and John McCain stood silently watching the Pied Piper of Politics.

"I think I could go for a drink now," said Hillary Clinton.

"Me too," responded John McCain.

They both left the playground. Barack Obama spoke to the children and signed some autographs. It had been another uplifting event.

    Of course Barrack --i.e., the new Jesus -- has feet of clay. He's from Chicago, and he has been known to sign strange deals as well as autographs for children. Mr. Tony Rezko, Chicago Democrat machine fixer, has his signature on a cool under market value land deal. I guess his new future is the same as the old future. Meet the New Politician same as the Old Politician. For those who believe in Saint Obama, you will have to work to keep the faith. You've been warned. We know him up close and personal. Red Rover, red rover, keep them all from coming over!
